The process working with the Ride Studio Cafe in Lexington, MA and Seven was wonderful. The bike rides like a dream! Forgive the saddle and handlebar bags! I was packing a picnic for a ride in Acadia National Park with my wife.

LiteSpeed Ultimate 1994
My first Ti ride, just broke it in tonight. As an all steel guy, I must say, I'm very stoked about the springiness and quick feel of this bike.

It's a Litespeed Ultimate, short chainstays/wheelbase, quick steering, race bike, stiffer than most other Litespeed models.. Yours looks like an early 90's model.
My 2001 Ultimate was purchased used back in 2004, I have over 70k miles on it since, still the same magic carpet ride as day 1 when I got it.

Does anyone make Ti in standard geometry anymore? Everything is sloping which I am not a fan of. My T2 is sloping compact geometry. That's the only thing I don't like about it.

I have a steel touring bike as well, while I had rather gotten a TI touring bike the price was prohibitive, but the steel touring bike I have makes up for the frame by using larger tires anyways so not a big deal in comfort, but on a road bike with skinny tires it makes a huge difference.

32 miles yesterday, 18 miles today, I'm burning off the Thanksgiving excess eating.
Avoiding the popular paved trails in COVID times, mostly pedaled on hardpack, gravel & mixed surfaces.
Temperature in the mid-low 50's, low wind; I can get used to this global warming if it stays like this all winter.
